  I am not gonna tell you what to and to not post.

  That would be unimaginably ironic.

  I am gonna say that I really hope your online profile cannot be easily tied back to your actual identity… by either random people with a vendetta… and/or possibly any information within the purview of being obtained by some kind of warrant from the US government, or maybe being leaked from some kind of right wing person that works for an ISP.

  Things are looking awfully dicey right now.

  The entire problem with a bunch of very, very angry and distraught people, is that they tend to believe whatever the fuck they want to, to justify and amplify their anger.

  After all, in a highly emotional state, one’s feelings do not really rationally consider or evaluate any kind of facts.

  And, I guess you could say that I am deadly serious about that.

    Thank you for going so far thinking about my safety. That’s rare. Thank you for that.

    I am from another problematic state, so I’m probably safe posting that. But being there on Lemmy I feel a kind of a second-hand involvement with what haunts americans whose news are frequent there. And talking about that, making shitposts, I feel relieve as I say what I want to actually say about my own state, but would be ruined if I did.

      Hah, yeah, no problem on looking out for your safety.

      And yeah, I did the American thing of assuming whoever I am talking to is also American by default, unless otherwise indicated…

      But yeah, it sounds like you understand my genuine safety concern as an overriding default, at this point in time.

        We russians assume just as well, and have a lot of strikingly similar behavioral patterns when we are at our lowest. I don’t know which country is going faster in it’s race to the bottom, and I am of course to egoistically assume it’s mine. But, either way, take and have as much care as you wished me <3
